As 2022 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to check in with yourself and reflect on the year you had – what you loved, what you learned, and who you became – and to set your intention for 2023.
Journaling is a powerful way to bring your thoughts and feelings to the surface and connect with yourself on a deeper level. Personal writing allows you the space to be completely raw in order to grow, identify where healing may be needed, and become more self aware overall.
The writing prompts below will support you in reviewing your past year in a constructive way and creating a vision for your year to come. Strive to really dig deep and be descriptive in your answers for each prompt to get the highest value and elevate your energy going into 2023!
